[067/129] oprofile, x86: fix init_sysfs error handling

From: Greg KH
Date: Sat Sep 18 2010 - 15:28:46 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@xxxxxxx>

commit 10f0412f57f2a76a90eff4376f59cbb0a39e4e18 upstream.

On failure init_sysfs() might not properly free resources. The error
code of the function is not checked. And, when reinitializing the exit
function might be called twice. This patch fixes all this.
